High Sierra Divers

Needed to fill an avalanche airbag cartridge on my way up to Tahoe. Friendly, fast (just off 80, out in 5 min), $8.They have the adapter that is compatible with most avy calendars (Mammut Snowpulse and BCA Float). Call ahead because we were warned by the guy who helped us that some people who work there are not able to fill these.

If I could give this dive shop 0 stars I would. My husband, father-in-law and I are experienced scuba divers and came to this shop to get Nitrox certified to dive for longer periods of time more comfortably. I believe it was the owner's wife? A woman working the front desk refused to give me a new medical form when I had made a mistake on it. I had read one of the questions wrong and marked YES, but when I re-read it I changed it to NO. I turned in my paperwork & she told me I could not get a new one and that I would now need a doctor's note to get cleared in order to get certified. Of course she conveniently told us this AFTER we had completed the entire course. They refused to give me my certification until after I received medical clearance for a MISTAKE on a form, even though we had paid for the course already. She became very verbally hostile with me and we left. I had to spend money on a doctor's visit just to get my doctor to say I'm fine to go diving (even though I have been fine for many years) and then when we called the shop to email the doctor's note to them, the same lady told us we had to drive it to drop it off in person. Once again, in person she was very rude. Once I told them I was going to write a review, she suddenly became very "nice". This was the worst diving shop experience ever and I have mostly used dive shops in 3rd world countries; so that says a lot. I do not recommend!!!! Go to DOLPHIN Scuba instead! Much friendlier staff & very helpful.

Top notch dive shop. Doug & Tina are professionals all the way. I've been certified for nearly ten years. This shop taught me my basic, advanced, and rescue courses. Ten years later, and they continue to treat me like family. I highly recommend this shop for anyone interested in diving!

ABSOLUTELY GREAT DIVE SHOP! These folks know how to do it right. From Training to Trips to Equipment purchase and repair. customer service at its best. They look out for their customers like family and truly strive to give you what you may need to have a wonderful diving experience. The Trips with them are outstanding. I can't wait for my next trip with them!

I don't think you could find a more accommodating, helpful dive shop. Doug and Tina are very informative and stand behind there products. My wife and i recently took open water diver and nitrox certification courses there, my wife has anxiety problems and sinus issue yet the staff took a very gentle understanding approach and made sure she was comfortable and competent. If your buying gear buy it here, the prices are below internet pricing and if not talk to them and I'm sure it will be lol. When you buy equipment Doug immediately sets it up for you, explains the functions and maintenance and then offers the opportunity to use the pool at there home to make sure it fits accordingly and you understand the operation fully. Again i can't state it enough, SUPPORT THIS SMALL BUSINESS.

Customer service zero. Questioned my integrity. Consumed my time. Never going back. Encouraged my family and friends to find a new dive shop. I always support local businesses. High Sierra Divers is permanently off my local shopping list.

Great technical dive shop. I have done a lot of dives and was really impressed with how well they prepare their divers. Also had them do some basic equipment repair and did a really good job.

These guys are life savers. My husband and I spent the day at Scott's Flat Lake and I accidentally managed to drop both our phone and my husbands keys out of my purse off the dock in pretty deep water. We were getting ready to give up trying to retrieve them when we saw a High Sierra Dive boat pulling up to the boat docking area. My husband went over and asked if they would be willing to dive down and get our belongings for some money. The dive instructor called the company in Auburn to see if they could bring down some equipment because he didn't have the dive gear with him. He wasn't able to dive that day because it was getting late and would be dark soon but he said he would come back the next day and try and find out belongings. Not only did he go back and retrieve our stuff the next day, he showed up to my husbands work (my husband told him where he worked) brought the phone and keys and asked for nothing in return. This was one of the kindest acts that has been done for us and it was just out of the kindness of this man's heart. This act of kindness is something we won't forget and we are so grateful that he did that for us.

Great local business. They were very helpful with certifying my old Regulator and computer setup. And there prices are very competitive. I would highly recommend them.

They have a decent inventory, prices are good. The place is well layed out and they seem knowledgable. But, my guy uses his Air Tanks on his job. He needs them. I went on Two Saturdays in a row and they closed early both days. So now a $20 tank fill is mow costing us $80. Since they were not open I had to pick up the tank and drive it down to the job. Gas, bridge tolls. I left messages and asking them to return my call, they did not. We cant afford to drop off his work gear and Hope they will be open posted hours.
